I'm a minimalist by heart, so small, powerful, or multi-function devices tend to grab my attention to at least take a peek. With the growing number of mobile devices and accessories, you'd guess right that I'm almost always checking something out. External storage and external battery packs are quite popular, for good reason. Mobile lifestyles demand more than many smartphones and tablets are able to deliver, in terms of entertainment or content. With that being said, you can imagine how useful a combination external battery pack and storage device can be. The RAVPower FileHub taps into those two needs, while also featuring Wi-Fi for connectivity. Although it doesn't have internal storage, the SD card slot and USB port essentially make connected media wirelessly accessible. Design There is nothing fancy about the RAVPower FileHub. The thin, flat design can have it easily mistaken for a portable external USB drive. The FileHub is lightweight, though sturdy. LEDs on the top indicate the kind of wireless, internet, or data transfer activity that's going on (the manual details it).

A reset button is front and center just in case a password is set and forgotten. AirStor App (for Android) The instruction manual lists two (free) apps that can be downloaded in order to access the FileHub. AirStor seems to be the one available for Android. The AirStor app interface is straightforward and limited. Give yourself less than 5 minutes and you'll know the ins and outs. It has yet to crash or malfunction on any of my devices.  Simple box contents The features I found most handy: the ability to check on the transfer status of files, and the option to safely remove insertable media. Things you can't do? Copy entire folders, create folders, rename folders, and rename files. You can only delete files, download files to your connected device, and upload files to the FileHub. Is it a big deal? Nope. Here's why. The RAVPower FileHub can be accessed through the Solid Explorer App via Windows File Sharing (SMB). What's SMB? Well, all you need to know is that it lets you run the RAVPower FileHub with Solid Explorer, which is a very robust file management app. If you're unfamiliar with Solid Explorer, you should seriously check it out. It has a clean layout, doesn't require rooting, offers two-pane drag-and-drop (landscape orientation), and can also connect to… Continue reading GadgeTell Review: RAVPower Wireless Media Streaming FileHub  | |
